    Excellent location, comfortable, but very tired and due for a re-furb.

    It's getting quite tired. The bed sheets need replacing, a general tidyup and pressure clean would be good. The pool is nice but the timber really needs to be varnished. There were loose poles around the pool that were still loose from our last visit 1.5 years ago.

    The location is excellent and the price is very good value as it's probably the cheapest hotel in the area.

    The resort is right at Anse Vata and in an area with several shopping and recreational options. Unfortunately, not all buildings are equally well maintained so it's really a hit or miss how your room will actually look like.

    Was a very pleasant stay for me, the Wi-Fi and the location were awesome. Enjoyed my stay there.

    I chose to be accommodated in the budget rooms. Only 2 things that I think needs improvement on: 1. Add a few English channels to the TV Channel List 2. Have another little bin in the room itself, just one provided in the bathroom is alright but not too okay for food rubbish or so.

    I like the location, very central, convenient and by the amazing beach. Beautiful location. The room was alright too, value for money.

    Near a night bar/night club that had music playing after midnight over the weekend.

    Shower was hot and powerful. Aircon was very strong. Location was fantastic. Elevator to the floor.

    Only one old pillow per bed. Hotel bar (code) serve frozen supermarket food which was not good at all. We did not try the restaurant after spending time in the bar. Definitely opportunity to upgrade the old rooms and get a fresher look.

    We really like the location: in front of the beach, close to restaurants, attractions and shops. Nice pool and ok facilities.

    Need a hotel information book in the room, had to find things out ourselves.

    The location is perfect, close to the beach and restaurants. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Our room was nice and clean, serviced everyday.

    No laundry during holy week. No iron, hair dryer. It's an old building outside Nouvata. The building I am in is called Nouvata Budget. Breakfast and dinner. Same boring food every day You get what you paid for. Staff communication is not the best in English No info pamplet on tour or time table of bus shuttles for Arc en ciel. The staff is so vague with non locals who can't soeak french.. Nouvata staff still old ways. They're not techno savvy.

    Close to Lemon Bay, Anse Vata, and not far from the city. Bus Charter 3 and restaurants outside hotel.

    Good value hotel for family!

    • Family with young children
    • Premium Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The hotel doesn't provide any vanity kits or soap. There is a dispenser for body wash in the premium room. However, that's all fine! Just be prepared to bring your own amenities. We didn't have the hotel breakfast buffet as it was a bit pricey, but there are loads of boulangeries and cafes nearby. The hotel didn't get back to us in time to help us with an airport shuttle booking, but for EUR 26 works out slightly cheaper than arc en ciel so best to call the hotel to help

    I hope this review helps someone in the future looking at this property, as the number of mixed reviews on Bookings made it difficult for me to know when I was searching whether a stay at Nouvata would be worth it. However, I would definitely say I made the right choice of booking at Nouvata. I preface this by saying I stayed in the Premium room located in the main hotel complex. First off, you should read the hotel and room details on the website well. The budget rooms are indeed cheaper, but they are found a 5 min walk away from the main hotel. The premium and comfort rooms are in the main hotel. Don't know what the rooms are like but they look fine from the outside and are very close to the main hotel. INTERNET IS FREE, FAST, AND GOOD NETWORK (up until ~30 GB a day) - if you are using more than 30 GB then maybe buy an unlimited data package portable wifi. Room is great - comfortable beds and pillows. Not a 5-star hotel quality, but perfectly fine for myself and my family. The hotel provided a crib which was great. THE AIRCONDITIONER SYSTEM WORKS FINE! Try adjusting the modes first before you make any complaints! If you really have any problems with the air conditioner of course call the front desk - but our experience of the air conditioner system is just fine! The Avis/Budget office can be found right outside the hotel's beach front entrance. We booked a car right from the office and were able to use the hotel's free parking in their private lot.

    No face towels and no hands soap in the room. When I asked they told me it's their policy not to have them. That was strange to me.

    Cockroaches, night staff, no fridge, not enough clothes hangers. See above.

    The day staff morning and afternoon were helpful, the night staff not so much. It was a visit for a medical emergency so after one person was in the Medipole, the room was good for one person. We had requested two single beds,but got a double. The balcony has peeling paint but an excellent view. The room was ok, but the bathroom was cramped, the toilet facing a wall and there were small cockroaches every day. The reception during morning and afternoon was helpful for getting taxi's which were in short supply. It was obviously photographed with a very wide angle lense, but in terms of price and convenience we were quite satisfied. The location is agreeable and central for most trajectories. Restaurants were abundant but the breakfast at the L'equilibre was a little expensive. Not unhappy & would book again. Cleaning service/ chamber maid very friendly. A small mini bar fridge would be good. The AC worked but the remote didn't seem to. TV had 8 channels, luckily I speak French so that was also OK.

    Welcoming and very helpful staff If you don’t mind a little old world charm (think Sheraton Waikiki early 80s) then this place is very reminiscent of that. It would have been gorgeous back in the day. A little run down but still good.

    Air conditioning stopped working one night. Swimming pool area did not have enough loungers. Rooms a little dated and tired looking. Cleaners slow at cleaning rooms throughout the hotel.

    Pools need to be cleaned frequently. Changing of towels needs to be daily by room services. Need to have more signs in English.

    Booked a Deluxe room. Had a nice view of the Anse Vata bay. Enough space for three people. Need the room key to access elevators which makes it safer. Walking distance to nearby restaurants and bars.
